ROSE'S POV

"Congrats!" Ryan drops the laptop and hugs me. "I'm so proud of you, baby." He lifts me by my hips, twirling me around. "So, my baby's an author now."

I laugh and scream at the same time. We both become dizzy and fall on the bed.

If the art gallery does not want me. Then, I will try my hand at writing. "So." I roll and lie on top of him, ticking off my fingers. "I have to meet with my editor again, start making the edits to my original draft, and then publish my work and become a bestseller." I rest my chin on his chest.

And just the way I say it, it happens. In less than four weeks, Confessions of an Unashamed Woman becomes a bestseller in feminist and religious circles. The school management finally put me back in the ambassadorial elections that, at this point, I'm not even sure I still want to be a part of. I haven't reached out to anyone else from home.

Ryan's business has been on the progressive side, and tonight we are celebrating the milestone achievement of my

    054. MONIQUE'S POV I walk past his office, trying not to make myself look but I can't help it so I peeked a little and I catch a glance of Desmond still behind his desk. "Urghh..." I sigh and head for the elevator. In a few minutes I'm on the ground floor. James is sitting in the lobby with two mugs of coffee. "Hey, if someone told me this office is so big that it'd take me a hear to see you again, I'd never agree." He stands and wraps his hands around me in a bear hug."A year? You exaggerate too much." I scatter his head playfully and sniff in his scent he doesn't smell...hard and masculine like Desmond. He smells... like what a little brother would smell like. Yeah, I know I'm awful. "Thanks." I break the hug and take my coffee, helping myself to a comfortable posture. He sips his coffee and states at me. "How are you Mon? You looked stressed...can I call you that?"I scoff. "Why not?" I rub my temples. "I know, I look stressed because I am stressed. I just want to be done with

    053 MONIQUE'S POV I wrap the jacket tightly around my frame as I unlock my door and step into the living room. I yawn slam the door angrily as I walk straight to my bedroom. I don't know why I'm mad. Desmond and I are nothing, absolutely nothing. Why do I get mad when he reminds me the truth? I was the one who accepted to just having fun I shouldn't ruin it now.I take off his jacket and toss it on the chair—his jacket? Oh shit, I pick it up with an audible sigh. I forgot to return Desmond's jacket. Just when I thought I could avoid him all through tomorrow and the next, now I have a reason to go look for him. It's been just one week at DS Groups, I wonder if I can cope for longer.I fold the jacket to drop on the nearest chair and a photo slips out the pocket. I pick it up and my eyes go wide, and my body skips. I stare at the photo of Rose in my hands. So, Desmond still carries her around? He's still into her? And I'm here having dirty thoughts about him? I rub my eyes and carefull

    46. DESMOND'S POV She's blushing really hard. "Don't get too ahead if yourself. I still hate you." She whispers. "You say you hate me, but I don’t believe you." I tease. She snarls attempting to push herself from me, but then I press my body against hers and whispers, "you just proved you want me." "I hate everything in you Desmond Smith." She jabs get fingers in my chest. "You embody everything that's wrong with your gender." She stares at my lips and scream. "I hate you!" She's lucky the boardroom is soundproof, but I still catch a few employees who're standing outside by the glass window glancing at it. They can't see us though, but it still feels weird, like we're being watched. She bits her lips, trying to hide her smile. "Do you think they know what we're doing in here?" I can't help it, so I let the smirk out. "Depends on what version of you they believe. The one who hates me or the one who dreams about me." She leans in, our bodies still pressed together, eyes on my l

    052. MONIQUE'S POV "This?" She runs her fingers along the embroidery. "It was attached to the parcel I won it at Florida's last year festival.""You attend spring festivals?" I can't hide the disbelief in my voice."I love spring festivals.""Oh no." I say with a small laugh. "Would you accompany me to my mom's spring festival two weeks from now?"She shifts her head back and stare at me. "It took two kisses in the park to introduce me to your mom?""Treat it as an office obligation.""That wasn't part of my job description.""I'm paying you for it.""Oh... okay." She nods. "Why are you here?""Ahh." I rub my face. "I needed to get some air, and me time but my friends were not feeling it. I had to sneak out of the party like a little girl." I chuckle awkwardly and turn to see her reaction."It must really suck, trying to relive your frat days now that you all are old.""Old?" I clutch my chest. "We're still young men in our prime.""Okay." She throws her hands up in the air. "Don't s

    051. DESMOND'S POV Can a business related emergency make her leave her house by this time to meet me at the park? I sigh. Fuck it, there's only one way to find out. I call the first time. It rings but goes unanswered. I try again, and on the third ring she picks. "Are you home?"Her voice is low and drowsy when she answers the call. "Huh... who's this""Desmond Smith. Your boss." I tune my voice to sound as authoritative as possible."Holy crap." Her voice comes alive immediately, like she's finally woken from sleep."There's been some issues with Moore's payment." The line rolls out perfectly. I have no idea why I'm doing this."Shit!""Can you meet me at the park in 20.""It's night." She whines in protests."It's a work emergency." I counter."Expect me in 20." She says, mumbling something inaudibly before hanging up."I sit in the park alone for the next twenty minutes, staring at the skies and thinking of all the impossible decisions I've made. This one tops it I know how mad Mo

    050 DESMOND'S POVShe's so damn sexy when she's embarrassed. Red Rosy cheeks, wide blue eyes, and parted soft lips. I glance over her briefly, I don't know why Clark is in this elevator with us, we could have been doing something more eventful than staring especially since she's made an oral deal to make out whenever we get the chance. Oral deal? I cough back a laugh.Monique grimace at me, her eyes darting between Clark and I maybe thinking if she should run back. "I didn't hear anything. I swear." I say the words so quickly they sound false. "We won't make you uncomfortable." I add."Okay." That's all she says before shifting to the far end of the elevator. It seems she's not in the mode for a fight. That's makes both of us I'm so tired from the call with my mom, I'd be fucked if I have to fight another blonde woman. I sigh and lean back against the body of the elevator with my eyes closed. Let Clark do the brainstorming I have to think on how to handle my mom... help my mom.My m
